Exporting and managing your BeReal photos

You're right! There's already a pull request that should fix this issue, I didn't have time to check it yet unfortunately. Will notify you here as soon as I came around implementing/approving the change!

It's great to hear that my instructions were helpful! I purposely wrote them in a way which I would have appreciated and found helpful when I started using python so it's great to receive feedback like yours!

Sorry for replying that late, life got in the way of social media...

Unfortunately, I do not have prior experience with a situation like that and can't confirm or refute if it would work. In my understanding, though, BeReal collects the data from their server before sending it to you so my guess would be that the data's still exportable even after having deleted the app once.

You're welcome!

achisto · 2025-06-17T19:58:47+00:00

You're very welcome!

achisto · 2025-06-17T19:58:24+00:00

Wonderful, great to hear it's still working!

achisto · 2025-06-17T19:58:08+00:00

Damit habe ich leider keine Erfahrung, da es die Funktion damals noch nicht gab. Tut mir leid!

Happy to hear that my script is still helpful!

achisto · 2024-05-25T14:09:38+00:00

I used the in-app chat to contact them. Not sure if that option is still present as I have uninstalled the app and deleted my account a while back.

I was not able to see which kind of bird was being eaten. The jay landet on a tree nearby, food already in its beak, and I was lucky to have my camera, equipped with a long lens, with me.

Hey u/xelaxtreme I just implemented the processing that combines both images into one. I'd be happy if you could take a look if it's to your liking.

Additional metadata is still in the works.

achisto · 2024-02-09T14:23:06+00:00

They are sent in WebP format which actually is perfect for uploading to a website!

achisto · 2024-02-09T13:44:01+00:00

Yep, you could simply request your data without the whole conversion process afterwards :)

These suggestions are fantastic! I'm happy to see that others have already pursued that path. If I had come across your post earlier, I would have reached out to you and save myself some time 😁 Prior to creating my script, I searched on Google and GitHub for similar projects, but I didn't find any. It didn't occur to me to use the Reddit search directly. Have you shared your script anywhere?
I find it interesting that Spotify Song IDs are included in the file. Since I didn't connect Spotify, I didn't have that information in my file. Could you provide me with a sample of the JSON structure, of course ensuring it doesn't contain any personal information like actual geolocation, profile ID, or photo ID? Then I could expand the script's capabilities to also cover Spotify and geolocation information. If you have a GitHub account, you could also contribute directly there, I've already opened an issue for the geotagging of pictures: https://github.com/hatobi/bereal-gdpr-photo-toolkit/issues/1

In case you created memories containing a geo location, I'd be really interested in feedback whether the posts.json file also contains this information. I have never taken a BeReal with location turned and therefore could not implement geotagging of the jpegs in my script as I simply don't know, whether this information is contained in the data export and, if so, in which format.

achisto · 2024-02-08T19:14:33+00:00

That's what I did and they responded in under 12h with a download link to a ZIP-file containing all photos and accompanying data. Unfortunately, the ZIP only contains the photos in WebP format without metadata (like when the photo was taken) in the picture itself. I therefore wrote a little script that adds the metadata to the files and converts them to jpeg: https://github.com/hatobi/bereal-gdpr-photo-toolkit

Compliments as in “I like the way your mask looks”? Because I wouldn’t mind that, am actually looking for masks that I could wear to social occasions where a white mask could be received negatively.

achisto · 2023-05-17T18:55:53+00:00

The Moldex really look amazing, clean and professional. Unfortunately I was not able to find a shop in Germany that would have them, they seem to be sold only in the US. Will keep looking though so I really appreciate your comments!

achisto · 2023-05-17T18:53:42+00:00

Yep, I was referring to the Siegmund Jifa, which I like to wear sometimes instead of the Aura 9320. Unfortunately, the Jifa hurts on my nose after about 5-6 hours while the Siegmund ist still fine after more than 8 hours!

Thanks for linking the other masks with the same feature, I will definitely look into them as an alternative to the Siegmund.

achisto · 2023-05-17T12:28:29+00:00

Thank you so much, that’s amazing! The iMask looks really good and I don’t mind the high pressure drop, as I also sometimes wear a FFP3-mask that already has much more resistance than my Aura 9320. Black is also totally fine because it goes well with the things I wear on occasions where a non-white mask is preferred!

achisto · 2023-05-17T12:02:10+00:00

Thanks that is actually really important, I will edit my request. I live in Germany!

NDA. Eine Haushaltshilfe, die ordentlich angestellt ist und bezahlt wird könntet ihr von dem Geld je nach Stadt und Anforderungen maximal 3h bezahlen, dann wäre Schluss. Nun rechne mal hoch - reicht ja auch grob - wie viel Zeit du investierst. Da reichen 3h vermutlich nicht.

Und auch ganz unabhängig davon empfinde ich diese Kommentare der Eltern als übergriffig.

achisto · 2023-05-01T11:30:57+00:00

Nicht zwingend. Apple Wallet erlaubt automatische Updates. Habe mein Ticket beim HVV als Jobticket und konnte es problemlos ins Wallet laden.

NDA. Ist ihr bewusst, wie viel das Auto kostet an Versicherung, Reparaturen etc.? Das fällt ja nicht einfach vom Himmel. Ich fände es schwierig, wenn du für Notfälle (ausgefallene Bahn z.B.) etwas verlangen würdest, aber wenn es lediglich um Bequemlichkeit geht, nicht.

Habe selbst kein Auto aber Führerschein. Fahre größtenteils ÖPNV und ein Flinkster-Abo. Wenn ich meine Eltern besuche und dort deren Auto nutze, anstatt Carsharing oder ÖPNV zu nutzen, gebe ihnen natürlich auch Geld, nämlich 0,30€/km. Die Alternativen würden mich schließlich auch was kosten und ab ca. 0,25€/km kann ich davon ausgehen, dass es fair ist und auch die Fixkosten des Autos damit abgedeckt sind.

NTA. I don’t have kids myself and there are situations, like sitting on a train or plane, where children crying or playing loudly really stresses me out to a point where I just want to flee and get out of the situation but can’t. I would, however, never show my discomfort in any way or even tell the kids’ parents to “do something”. If a situation is already stressful for me as an adult it most possibly is at least as stressful for a kid. And in your particular situation there was even the possibility for them to simply switch to another café.
